		Trellis related projects Trellis has been used in quite a few projects. Here is an (incomplete) list of projects where Trellis is an integral part: Antoinette Maniatty and co-workers are working on heterogeneous stresses in thin polycrystalline films on substrates. Trellis is being used to predict the stresses due to changes in the temperature during the manufacturing process. The same group of people works on several projects where stabilized finite element methods are implemented in Trellis to solve finite deformation problems and viscoplastic flow problems. Rober Spilker and his group are using Trellis for the simulation of human soft tissue. Mark Shephard and Ottmar Klaas have been working on implementing the Partition of Unity method into Trellis. Currently their work focuses on embedding numerical analysis capabilities into an enterprise wide information system. Trellis as a geometry based analysis framework is an integral part that allows to connect the diverse array of technical stand alone solutions (CAD, CIM, CAE, etc.) into an automatic adaptive workflow controlled solution procedure. Ken Jansen and his group make use of the attribute and expression system as well as the model interface and mesh database. Modules they developed based on SCOREC software include a preprocessor that allows to apply the boundary conditions for turbulent flow calculations on the geometric model. The boundary conditions are then translated into a specific input deck for their flow solver. Together with the automatic mesh generation capabilities of SCOREC this provides an easy means of generating different FE-input decks in a cost effective manner. Another module that was developed provides the ability to postprocess solutions generated using higher order finite element calculations to overcome the limitations of most post processors that only provide linear interpolations on Finite Elements. Toshiro Ohsumit has been using parts of the Trellis framework to work on the high performance problem-solving environment for optimization and control of chemical and biological processes.
